Crosses that honor the victims will go into storage at the Orange County History Center. They were moved from Orlando Regional Medical Center Tuesday.

The hope is that generations will remember the victims, long after the one-month mark.

"One month, which still feels like the same day, it gives us some peace," said Laly Santiago-Leon, a cousin of a Pulse shooting victim.

Outside the Orange County Regional History Center, friends and family members of the victims, as well as strangers, gathered where the 49 crosses will now be a part of history.

The crosses were made by a Chicago artist. For a month, they stood outside ORMC.

"It means the world to have these crosses here, not just our family, but for all of the families," Santiago-Leon said.

One Pulse victim remains in critical condition.

"It uplifts me in the face of all this tragedy to have not just our community, but the country and the entire world," Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said.

One month later, the world now sees a rendering of the first permanent memorial to be created. Orlando Health said a brick paver memorial will be around Lake Beauty with the names of all 49 victims listed.

One month later, one month forward.

"As we have moved forward, I can see the resilience of our community in which we have now come together and united," Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said.

As for the last patient remaining in critical condition, doctors said the road to recovery will be monthslong.

The crosses will go into storage, along with items from other memorials, until the city decides where exactly they will go permanently.
